520 _a"Working for a Living Wage" --- "Today [Jan. 2001]...there are 53 living wage ordinances on the books in the United States....Living wage campaigns seek to require private businesses that benefit from public money to pay their workers a living wage (usually defined as at least enough to bring a family of four to the federal poverty line, currently $8.20 an hour)." (MULTINATIONAL MONITOR) This article addresses the growing importance of the living wage movement as new campaigns proliferate throughout the country.
520 _a""Living Wage" Measures Incite Hot Debate" --- "As business and organized labor debate Nashville's proposed 'living wage' ordinance, their arguments echo those of their counterparts in dozens of U.S. cities the past few years. More than 50 cities or counties have enacted measures that, in effect, create for government employees and others a base wage far above the federal minimum, which is now [May 2001] $5.15 per hour." (TENNESSEAN) This article debates the pros and cons of the living wage movement.
520 _a"Student Sit-In Tests Harvard's Labor Policies, and Patience" --- "the longest sit-in in Harvard history reached the two-week mark Wednesday [May 2, 2001], with about three dozen students camped out in Massachusetts Hall to demand higher wages for university workers. The students vow to continue...until Harvard agrees to pay a 'living wage' of $10.25 an hour to janitors, dining hall workers and others." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article discusses Harvard students' protest as they demand a higher base wage for campus service workers.
